No explosions and all fingers are still attached, I even managed to fix an annoying, ongoing problem I've had with my thicknesser , all is going well.Just finished Root's 6-string banjo today, what a 'beast', it's great fun having a low G string to twang!

The plan is to spend all day tomorrow sanding Henri's Walnut banjo, ready for oiling next week. I can then continue work on Ron's mountain banjo and Cherry open back and also bend the Ash slats I have planed ready for Graham's tackhead and Tony's minstrel.
